Reaction Steps
Methyl iodide (0.5 mL, 8.1 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.1 g, 8.1 mmol) were added to a solution of o-thiocresol (1.0 g, 8.1 mmol) in 10 mL of DMF. The reaction was stirred at 50° C. for 4 hours and poured into hexane and water. The organic layer was separated, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to afford 1.1 g of desired material.
